Jaylen Warren’s Steelers breakout is eerily similar to this former OPOY

Still Curtain's Andrew Falce argues that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren's breakout season shares striking similarities to former Offensive Player of the Year Priest Holmes. Stepping into the lead role following an injury to Rico Dowdle, the 27-year-old Warren has amassed 640 yards of total offense through five games, putting him on pace for nearly 2,200 yards from scrimmage.

Falce highlights how both players entered the NFL as unheralded backs who faced early career roadblocks before excelling in their late twenties. After previously sharing reps behind Najee Harris and Kenneth Gainwell, Warren is viewed by Falce as having the potential to remain a feature back for Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future.
